One Last Look at Georgetown This Season

[Hey Adrien!]

I love KJ Lewis, but surprisingly in his absence, the team is playing some of their best basketball of the season, narrowly losing to St. John's, followed by a three-game winning streak.

In that span, Mack's steady play has been huge, but guys like Jeremiah Williams (14.5 ppg over last 4), Kayvaun Mulready (12 ppg over last 4) have really stepped up in Lewis' absence, particularly showing out three-guard lineups with Mack/Williams/Mulready as all three are tough, gritty guards.

Georgetown's three-point shooting killed our momentum last game and that's something to continue to keep in mind since KJ Lewis' biggest weakness was his jump shot (29.2 3P% in Big East play) and his replacements are better three-point shooters.

Also, can't forget that fouls caused Tarris Reed to play only 18 minutes last matchup where overall, our offense was pretty damn good, but it was one of our worst defensive performances of the season.

Georgetown has had a lot of close losses. A couple of buckets here and there and they're looking at a much better season. We beat them by four points at home and two on the road. I don't expect tonight to be an easy game.

If we come out like we did against Xavier and play like a title contender, it should be an easy game

If we score more points, it should be an easy game.

Sorry UCFan, nothing personal, just couldn't resist.

Considering we only beat them by 2 points and 4 points respectively, and that they're probably playing their best basketball of the season, +13.5 points is too much.

We had double digit leads in both games and all of a sudden forgot how to play defense. Keep the intensity hit some shots should be an easy game.,

Spread is up to 15.5 points already. Let's hope the sharps know what they're talking about!

Easy answer: don't bet UConn.

 

[Lafayette]

Let's expect that given how we played last night, we are at Season 1.5, the BET. 1-0 so far. The regular season is over.

I think the insert of Jeremiah Williams at PG and his ability to attack and create has been helpful to Georgetown’s offense.

KJ’s absence has caused that to happen, but I think it’s moreso about the job Mack wasn’t doing previously that Jeremiah now gets to do more often and better.
